Nordstrom Men’s Store
Although it’s away from most of the fashion week fray, the Nordstrom men’s store is worth a visit. This 47,000-square-foot, three-level space is the Seattle-based retailer’s first full-price flagship in Manhattan. Buyers have made sure the merchandise satisfies a New York City consumer and it’s heavily skewed toward designer and contemporary items from newer brands, including Jack Erwin, Cole Haan NYCH, and Strong Suit by Ilaria Urbinati. Luxury brands including Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Dior, Valentino, Christian Louboutin and Comme des Garçons, all of which have distinct shops, are also present. For views of Columbus Circle, have a bite at the store’s clubhouse/restaurant concept.

Reign
Founded by Santino LoConte, Reign is one of the newer men’s wear boutiques in Manhattan. The 1,600-square-foot store in the Meatpacking District is stocked with brands including R13, Stone Island, Kappa, Alexander Wang, Martine Rose, Rick Owens and Juun.J, which isn’t being sold at any other retailer in New York. On the footwear side, LoConte has selected Suicoke, Casbia, New Balance, Hender Scheme and Puma Select for the space. The shop is minimal, with a 12-foot circular skylight and a courtyard. LoConte recently launched a Deadstock program that will reissue popular sneakers
